North Carolina Dad Scores $100,000 Using Numbers Picked With Daughter
A North Carolina man is celebrating a $100,000 Powerball win after choosing his lucky numbers with help from his daughter.
Alvester Perry of Wendell told North Carolina Education Lottery officials that picking lottery numbers together has become a special tradition between him and his adult daughter, who has special needs.
Their shared tradition paid off with the November 4 drawing. A ticket purchased at Riley Hill Mart on Riley Hill Road in Wendell matched four white balls and the Powerball, securing a $100,000 prize.
Perry already has plans for the unexpected windfall. He said he will use part of the money to:
-
Pay off his family's home.
-
Save the remaining money for his daughter's future.
What started as a simple family tradition turned into a life-changing lottery win, giving Perry and his daughter even more reasons to celebrate.
